Make sure to read to the bottom! I have some new book news to share!!!

Earlier this year, I was part of an anthology called Unusual Seductions. The story I had in it was titled, "Symphony of Night". I printed it in paperback for a convention I attended, and now, it's on ebook!

Book blurb:​The veil has lowered and the human race now realizes they are not alone. We live among the supernatural, but there’s a catch: you only see them if you have the supernatural gene.

My name is Jac and I’m the last Valkyrie. My best friend and guardian, Rowan, is a gargoyle. The portal to our world closed, trapping the supernatural on earth. Word is out about a stone with powers to open it. It’s not just any stone, it is THE stone. Tasked by Archangel Michel to find it, I know I’m going to need help.

​Humans already wants us out of their realm. If the stone falls into the wrong hands, all hell will break loose. Samuel, the first of the Fallen, wants the stone and plans on using it to his advantage. When chaos erupts, the humans will find justification for their fears, and the supernatural will be forced to fight back.

My allies are few, and my enemies great. Will I be able to stop Samuel and save the world, or will we be lost along with the humans?

﻿Dragon Master is also available now on ebook and paperback! Co-written with award winning author, Marianne Morea, we collaborated on this story for almost a year and BAM! King Tryst and his kingdom of Lanxston came alive! Check out his story and how he called upon a woman, from another dimension, to be his wife!

For Dr. Jamie Torrent life was about empirical proof. What you could see and touch. But when she wakes to a surreal reality where dragons fly free and magic rules the land, the proof is too real to ignore. As real as the dangerous passions set to blaze by the man who summoned her.

Tryst, Dragon Master, has to marry or fear losing the kingdom he loves. When he meets Jamie, worlds collide in a fierce battle for domination. Will Tryst win and keep his kingdom or will Jamie set aside what she knows as truth?

﻿Sniper, book 2 in the Special Ops series, is also available now on ebook and paperback. You met Brody in book 1, Delta Force. Now you get to hear his story! Warning: the heat level is super hot in this one!!!

Book blurb:​Sniper Tom Brody enjoys his life in the Special Ops. He also enjoys his best friend, Antonella, maybe a little too much. Brody and Antonella have an agreement: friends to never cross that line.

Toni has hidden her feelings from Brody for as long as she can remember. Both want to cross the line, so much so, they act on it just before his next deployment.

When life appears to pick back up upon his return home, tragedy strikes. When an idle threat becomes a reality, Brody will encounter a fight he never thought he would have to face; search and rescue for the woman he loves.

AND NOW... THE NEW NEWS!

The sequel to Symphony of Night is underway! The title, The Power Here, will bring Kai back into the story (you met him in SoN) and introduce you to two new characters; Felix and Angelica.Kai, the resident Oni Demon, is recovering from the heartbreak of losing Jac. She left with Rowan on her new adventure to Valhalla in Symphony of Night. Kai, now on his own, is getting ready for another battle he didn't see coming.Felix, the badass motorcycle club were-panther, is determined to bring Kai out of his slump and get him laid! Or die trying (LOL!) Angelica, the seductress banshee has crushed on Felix from afar and recently friended Kai. When tragedy strikes Felix, it is up to Kai and Angelica to bring him back to civilization without losing themselves in the process. When Angelica embraces her power, the strength of it scares her so much, she feels as if she's going to lose herself to the darkness. That is until an unlikely ally finds her way back to the trio.Along the way, Alex and Lisa (remember them from Chronicles of the Fallen?) will make an appearance! I'm so excited to write for these two again!

So who's ready for The Power Here??? If you haven't read Symphony of Night yet, now's your chance (link above)!

Have you read Chronicles of the Fallen yet? If the answer is yes, I've started a spin off to that series, and book one is called Symphony of Night! This story was featured in the anthology, Unusual Seductions.

Synopsis:The veil has lowered and the human race now realizes they are not alone.

By now you may have read Delta Force and met Logan Saunders, witnessed the brawl that happened after a training mission, the 'intimate' bathroom sex scene (poor Sterling), oh and the one-night menage... yeah if you've not read this story, you DEFINITELY need to get on this!​Miranda gives Logan a run for his money when it comes to control. I mean, the woman will sit on her bed and do things to herself, and not allow Logan to play... simply watch. I mean, hot, right? (you seriously need to read this!)

Many have expressed a real interest in Sniper, and getting to know Brody better. Oh boy... how do I explain to you how naughty this man is, the lessons in how to become a submissive, the plugs, the wands... oh my! Brody is a serious lover and man... the love he has for Toni is very special... epic! He will push her boundaries in a way that set her up for a serious fall. But this is okay. Why you ask? Because, he will be there on the other side... to catch her. YES!!! I love this man!

Yesterday, I was working with fellow author and amazing cover designer, AD Roland. We went through images of who could potentionally be on the covers of Ranger and Seal. Well ladies and gentlemen, the images have been selected and she's setting up the covers as I type this! I can't wait to share them with you! Watch for the cover reveal of Sniper, book two in the Special Ops series, coming soon!!

Special Ops News and Information

Delta Force has been released a little over a month now. People have met Logan and enjoyed his story. Heartache followed by becoming a stubborn asshole to meeting the woman of his dreams who changes his life forever... Well let's say Delta Force invokes a lot of emotion!

OMG he's a beast! -- Amazon reviewHoly Hannah! I figured I read a little before I go to sleep...well I could not put this book down and finished! -- Amazon review[She] carried him when he didn't know he was being carried. -- Amazon reviewThis book is full of emotions, it makes you hopeful, cry, laugh, pissed and then happy. -- Author Lily-Ann Johnson, author of Blondie's Hero

What's next? Sniper is coming out mid-summer! If you've read Delta Force then you've met Tom Brody. Brody's story is told in the next installment and let me tell you... it's HOT!! Where Logan reclaims his life in Delta Force, Brody teaches his girlfriend, Tony, how to live life in the world of BDSM!

I've been planning out book three, Ranger, recently, and this story will take me into a very dark place. As thought on this story, plotting it out, and listening to the voice of Ponce (you'll meet him in Delta Force), I'm touched, moved, and scared to death to write this story. I chatted with a friend today about his story and before I could even tell her, I was on the verge of tears. Once I gained control of myself, she went a little nuts with me! It's dark story telling, more so than I have attempted before. So a part of me is excited to venture down this unknown road, while the other is fearful to considering knocking on that door. Once the door opens and I decide to walk through it, there's no going back. That is the exciting, and fearful part of it all!

You've also seen posts where I'm writing a book with Marianne Morea. Well we're closing in on being done! It may happen this week! Dragon Master is happening and our goal is to have it ready for Authors After Dark! We're both very excited about this story and cannot wait for you to meet King Tryst, Sebastian Lord Dragon, Jamie, Luke and Rowena!

Books, Books, and more... Returns?

There's been post among post recently of authors having books bought and returned. Maybe it's because the reader doesn't like it, maybe it was a duplicate purchase (although Amazon prevents this if you've already bought the book) or maybe the cost of the book is just too much.

Is 99 cents or the amount of $3.99 too much for someone's budget? Let's take a look at this and see...Book for $3.99 is a one time purchase fee and the ebook you get to keep for the lifetime of your Amazon (or however you read through) account. (unless Amazon et al changes their dynamic, this is the way it is.)

Let's say, you buy book XYZ. You love this book. You leave a review for this book. You tell your friends about this book. So far so good, right? Okay, good.

Now let's say you bought toilet paper. You use the potty and clean yourself. Nothing is left over and nothing gets on your hand. You feel clean and refreshed. It flushes perfectly. Someone had a bad experience with product X but you said, "No! Try product Y! It was amazing on my butt!" So your friend takes your word on it and BOOM! Referral made.

One more example: you go to Starbucks and get your favorite latte. It's made perfectly and it is absolutely divine. You drink it. You thank and tip your barista. You tell your friends to go to your Starbucks because your latte, without a doubt, is the best around.

So out of the three examples above, is there any reason you'd return the products? Why return the ebook? Was it too much for your budget? Maybe you recently lost your job and down on money. I get it, but it's NO REASON to buy an authors book, read it, then return it. No one has the right to say, "put your books for free, because I left you an amazing review, and I'm entitled to such treatment." Bullshit. No, just no.Maybe the toilet paper was so good, but it was $1.00 more than the average? Would you use the toilet paper then return it to the store? Of course not! How embarrassing would that be! "Excuse me, Joe Q. Public. I wiped my ass with this, but I think it should be free, so I'm returning it."Oh, and let's not forget Starbucks. If the latte is so amazing, would you drink it, then demand your money back because it was too expensive? Would you pee and demand a refund because the latte is now out of your system and you think, "it should have been in my system at least another full day." Imagine taking a bottle of pee to the Starbucks counter... Eww... just as bad as returning poopy toilet paper. Disgusting, right?

SO WHY IS IT OKAY TO RETURN READ BOOKS? GO TO THE LIBRARY AND GET A FREE BOOK!!! Don't tell an author to make their books free! We spend a lot of our time away from home writing these stories, time away from our families, and put so much effort into them. Whether you enjoy them or not, do not steal by reading and returning. If you loved it, leave a review saying as much. If not, we'll take that one to two star over a return any day. Please, for all things holy, stop returning our books!!!

Readers gonna read. Writers gonna write. LOL!​TNEE went off as a huge success!!! Delta Force sold out within the first hour! Readers who already had read the story talked non-stop about Logan! I LOVED hearing that!!! They were also asking about Brody's story. <3

During my author book talk, basically a panel of just me with the readers, someone asked me about writing about my experience having an autistic child. This was a question I was not prepared to answer. Needless to say, I broke down and cried while answering. I apologize for that, as it was not expected. I hope I did not hurt anyone with my answer. Move, yes, touch, definitely. But not hurt.

That aside, TNEE was great! The Villain's ball was AMAZING and the food? Out of this world!!! If you missed out on TNEE, there's another con you can get into and trust me, you WANT to be there! Huge announcement is coming soon! HUGE!!! I'll post about it, tweet, and share as soon as it has been released! I already know so for now, my lips are sealed!

Delta Force, Deadly Alchemy, and Fatal Intentions sold out! Southern Roots did pretty well and Clive was talked about often. I also realize it's time to start drawing back on Chronicles of the Fallen. Which is good because MORE people have it so YAY!!

Most authors did very well at TNEE. Horror authors were represented well. Even YA and NA! Oh, did I mention the Villain's ball? Seriously awesome! Check me out as Lady Loki and Milly Taiden as Madam Magneto!​

If you haven't attended a Romance Ink event, you really need to consider doing so. They BROUGHT it! Aside from hotel issues, which is bound to happen, the staff made the event completely seamless! Now, onto the next event!
